Botox
Fine lines on my forehead. How to fix?
The fine lines that you are referring to can be softened with Botox or Dysport. This will also prevent the lines from deepening over time (preventative treatment). A less invasive option would be chemical peels but may require multiple treatments to see a very noticeable result.
Clinical Context
Forehead lines that show up when you raise your eyebrows come from repeated contraction of the frontalis muscle. Neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport relax this muscle, softening the lines and helping prevent new ones from forming. Chemical peels work differently—they improve skin texture and tone by removing outer skin layers, but they don't reduce muscle movement. If your lines disappear when your face is at rest, they're likely to respond well to muscle-relaxing treatment; lines still visible at rest may need a combined approach.
